Chapter 99

The entire city of Fengjian was in an uproar. A young man had killed three generals in broad daylight, and news of this incident spread throughout the city in the blink of an eye, leaving countless people speechless.

"Is this true?"

"No way, who would dare to be so bold, tired of living?"

"My God, this world... is too crazy!"

"This city is going to be in chaos."

"The three generals of Fengjian City are all veterans from the battlefield, loyal to the empire. With three of them killed, neither the commander nor the city lord can turn a blind eye. The murderer will definitely pay a heavy price."

Everyone was shocked.

The death of the three generals was a huge event!

The commander's office naturally received this news first, and the dozens of soldiers even brought the bodies of Chen Ping and the other two to the commander's office.

"Commander, please avenge the three generals!"

One of the soldiers shouted.

Staring at the three bodies, Zhou He was furious.

His son was dead, and now his three most capable subordinates had been killed by the same person!

"What a little beast! You really have the nerve. This time, I don't think anyone can protect you!" Zhou He's face was extremely dark as he roared, "Someone, go report to the city lord, gather all the troops, and go to the Jiuyang Martial Hall to arrest the culprit!"

"Yes!"

A soldier responded and quickly ran out.

Zhou He's eyes were full of killing intent, and he clenched his fists. "Hao, just wait, your father will avenge you soon! I will personally execute that little beast in front of your grave!" Today's incident was planned by him, though it didn't succeed, the death of the three generals gave him a sufficient reason to mobilize troops to capture Lin Tian.

A warhorse, carrying a bloody scent, rushed out of the commander's office, galloping madly toward the city lord's residence. Many people saw this scene, and some smart ones immediately sensed the smell of war.

"It's really going to be chaos."

Someone muttered to themselves.

...

Lin Tian, holding Lin Xi, had already returned to the Martial Hall residence. They sorted out the things that Su Shu had bought with Lin Xi. There were quite a few, but they were all small trinkets.

"Thank you so much today."

Lin Tian said to Su Shu, referring to the fact that she had covered Lin Xi's eyes when he was killing.

This small action was very meaningful.

Su Shu frowned. "You still have the nerve to say that! You, before you act, don't you think? Lin Xi is still young, and the only one she can rely on is you, her brother. If Lin Xi saw you kill someone, she would be so sad and scared. Do you want Lin Xi to have nightmares every day? Do you want Lin Xi to fear you?"

Lin Tian was embarrassed. "You're right, I didn't think it through."

As he spoke, Lin Tian looked toward Lin Xi's room. The little girl was decorating her room with some small things she had bought in the city. Looking at Lin Xi, his face was full of a gentle smile.

"Alright, stop looking, think about other things."

Su Shu pouted.

"Other? What other things?"

Lin Tian was curious.

"What other things?!" Su Shu gritted her teeth, looking like she wanted to bite someone. "You killed three generals in broad daylight, which is a thousand times more serious than killing Zhou Hao. Do you think Zhou He will let it go? Killing those three just gave him a perfect excuse to come after you. You committed such a serious crime, even the Martial Hall might not be able to protect you!" Thinking about the consequences, Su Shu was even more angry. "Why are you always so impulsive!"

"They scared Lin Xi, and they were trying to kill me. I had to defend myself. Our parents raised us, not to be bullied by others."

Lin Tian didn't care at all.

"You..." Su Shu glared at Lin Tian. "I'm talking about serious things!"

"I am too." Lin Tian stared at Su Shu and suddenly chuckled. "Xiao Shu Shu, are you afraid I'll die?"

"Who's afraid you'll die? Go die now, and I'll take good care of Lin Xi for you!"

Su Shu gnashed her teeth.

Lin Tian smiled and couldn't help but laugh.

"What are you laughing about!"

"Nothing, nothing." Lin Tian shook his head and smiled. "In short, don't worry. Zhou He is better off being quiet. If he tries anything, I'll give him a surprise."

Su Shu stared at Lin Tian with wide eyes. What is this guy talking about!

"Are you running a fever?"

Su Shu reached out to touch Lin Tian's forehead.

Lin Tian was speechless and took Su Shu's hand off his forehead. "Don't worry, I'm fine, really. You don't need to worry."

"Sister Su..."

A sweet voice sounded, and Lin Xi called out to Su Shu from her room, not knowing what she needed.

Lin Tian glanced over and looked at Su Shu, smiling. "Thank you for taking care of my sister."

"I like her, it has nothing to do with you!"

Su Shu huffed.

After saying that, Su Shu got up and walked to Lin Xi's room.

It was noon, and the three of them had bought a lot of ingredients. Lin Xi and Su Shu cooked together, and soon, a fragrant meal was on the table, with a perfect combination of color, aroma, and taste.

"Truly my sister! Her cooking is so good!"

Lin Tian praised.

"Hey! Don't forget me! We did it together!"

Su Shu was unhappy.

"Right, right, I almost forgot." Lin Tian smiled. "Speaking of which, I'm surprised you can cook."

"What do you mean by that!"

Su Shu's teeth ground together, glaring at Lin Tian.

Lin Tian was embarrassed. He was genuinely surprised, but it seemed Su Shu took it as a tease.

The meal was quickly over, and after cleaning up the dishes, Lin Tian reminded Lin Xi not to run around, then went out with Su Shu.

"Where are you going?"

Su Shu asked.

Lin Tian said, "The internal hall selection has been over for a few days. I should report to the internal hall."

"Rare, you actually thought of that."

Su Shu was surprised.

Lin Tian: "..."

At a fork in the road, Lin Tian and Su Shu parted ways, and he headed toward the internal hall.

The Jiuyang Martial Hall was divided into the internal and external halls. Compared to the external hall, the internal hall had its own training area, and the training environment and living conditions for internal hall disciples were much better than those for external hall disciples. With various privileges and training resources, entering the internal hall was the dream of all Martial Hall disciples.

Lin Tian turned a few corners and soon arrived at the internal hall.

At the entrance of the internal hall, two attendants were on guard. Lin Tian handed over his identity token, which had been refreshed, and both attendants were surprised. "You're Lin Tian?"

"Yes."

Lin Tian nodded.

The two attendants looked at Lin Tian strangely and returned the token. "That's all, go in."

Lin Tian was a bit puzzled but didn't ask more. He put away the token and walked in.

After registering in the internal hall, Lin Tian went to the internal hall training area. As the elder in charge of the internal hall reminded him, most internal hall disciples trained in the internal hall training area.

When he entered the training area, he saw three men.

One of them was muscular and was swinging his fists, fighting with a young man in a long robe. Not far away, a young man in black stood with his arms crossed, watching the two fight.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

The muscular young man and the young man in the long robe fought, the sound of their fists and palms colliding echoing like drums.

Lin Tian was secretly surprised. Both of them were very strong!

"Stop! That's enough for today."

The young man in the long robe said.

The muscular young man smiled and stopped.

At this moment, Lin Tian stepped forward. "Senior brothers, I am a new disciple of the internal hall. My name is..."

However, before he could finish, the young man in the long robe stepped in front of him.

"Junior brother Lin Tian."

The young man in the long robe said.

Not far away, the muscular young man and the young man in black also turned to look.

Lin Tian was a bit puzzled. "Senior brother, do you know me?"

After all, he was a new disciple, and out of respect, Lin Tian wouldn't be impolite.

"Of course, I know." The young man in the long robe smiled. "During the internal hall selection, the three of us went to watch. Your final battle was truly spectacular!"

Lin Tian humbly said, "Senior brother, you flatter me."

As he spoke, Lin Tian was also surprised that these three powerful internal hall disciples had personally come to watch the competition.

At this moment, the muscular young man walked over and extended his right hand to Lin Tian, smiling. "Hello, junior brother Lin. I'm Tian Ze. You can call me Senior Brother Tian or just Tian Ze."

Lin Tian shook hands with Tian Ze. "Hello, Senior Brother Tian."

Tian Ze seemed to be a straightforward and easy-going person, making it easy to feel close to him.

Tian Ze smiled. "The guy in front of you is Tao Bai, who uses palm techniques." He paused and pointed to the young man in black. "That guy is Kong Hang, who uses a sword like you. He's the second strongest in the internal hall."

After Tian Ze finished, Kong Hang nodded at Lin Tian and then looked away.

"Don't mind him, he's always like that." The young man in the long robe, Tao Bai, patted Lin Tian's shoulder and leaned in. "Let me tell you a secret. During your battle, that guy had a very high opinion of you, saying that your understanding of sword techniques even surpassed his."

"Too much!"

Kong Hang huffed.

The internal hall was not as large as the external hall, but the environment was very good, with fresh air.

Tao Bai stood next to Lin Tian, introducing him to some people and things in the internal hall.

At this moment, a young man in purple walked down a nearby corridor.

"Senior Brother Xu." Tao Bai called out. "A new disciple has joined the internal hall, the only one to enter this year. Senior brother, come and say hello."

The young man in purple stopped, glanced at Lin Tian, and coldly said, "A man about to die, no need for formalities."

With that, the young man in purple walked away, quickly disappearing from their sight.

"Tch, what a snob."

Tao Bai was unhappy.

Lin Tian stared at the departing young man in purple, not minding his attitude, but he was curious about his words. He looked at Tao Bai. "Senior brother, what did he mean by 'a man about to die'?"

"This..." Tao Bai stared at Lin Tian, slightly stunned. "You don't know?"

Not only Tao Bai, but Tian Ze and Kong Hang also looked at Lin Tian strangely.

"I don't know."

Lin Tian shook his head. He really didn't know what was going on.

Tao Bai was speechless. "Junior brother Lin, no! Senior Brother Lin, no! Ancestor Lin, how can you not know what you did?" He shrugged. "You killed the three generals of Fengjian City in broad daylight, causing a huge uproar. This is a massive problem!"
